How to Play

Your objective is to pilot a World War II-era fighter plane through multiple stages, destroying enemy aircraft, tanks, ships, and large boss vehicles. You control your plane with a joystick, moving in eight directions to dodge enemy bullets and obstacles while firing your main weapon automatically.

Collect power-up icons left by destroyed enemies to enhance your weapon's strength and spread, and gather gold stars to increase your score and earn extra lives. Use bombs for a screen-clearing attack when surrounded by enemy fire.

The game follows a stage-by-stage progression with increasing difficulty, requiring precise movement and strategic use of power-ups to survive. In the early stages, focus on collecting power-ups to maximize your firepower.

During tense moments, prioritize dodging over attacking and save bombs for emergency situations against boss attacks or dense bullet patterns.
